SPAN 425: La Literatura Mexicana
Description
Exposes students to Mexican literature from its indigenous and Hispanic origins to its more contemporary expressions. Examines and discusses representative authors from all literary periods, including such literary icons as Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Manuel Gutierrez, Mariano Azuela, Ignacio Altamirano, Rosario Castellanos, Ruan Rulfo, Octavio Paz Carlos Fuentes, Jos? Agustin, and Laura Esquivel. (Offered every fourth semester.)
Reflective Narrative:
This class fulfills MLO 3, Literacy and Cultural Knowledge. This class covered more than 10 short story novels, covering a short story each week. It helped me analyze short stories during class time, breaking up into small groups covering the themes, ambiance, history, and characters of the story. The best part of this class was the discussion; hearing everyone's opinions and their analysis and how it was similar and different from mine. There were always different ideas floating around the room and Professor Urioste always led the conversation back to the story and made us think even harder and deeper into the small ideas. This helped me train my mind in Spanish, to think and analyze which is something I am forever practicing.
